| Looking to Develop A Short List of Amplifier Candidates For A Pair Of JBL 4367 Speakers +1 for CODA (oops) | |
| Looking to Develop A Short List of Amplifier Candidates For A Pair Of JBL 4367 Speakers +1 on COD; but, their S5.5 model is probably a better match for your JBL speakers. There are 2 used ones currently listed on USAM, ranging from $4200 - $4,800. There is also one listed at The Music Room for $5,199* (retail is $6400). *FYI - The... | |
| Experience with stacked subwoofers? I've seen a Youtube video on this very subject. I found it when I was researching Rythmik Audio subwoofers. | |
| Mono blocks for Revel Salon 1’s recommendation? A pair of Modwright KWA 99's just popped up today at The Music Room (tmraudio.com) for $7749. | |
| Tube Pre-amp Suggestions. @kds I am very happy with my Coda ss amp & Herron Audio tube preamp combo. There is currently only one listing for a used Herron Audio preamp. It is the VTPS - 360 model, and it is listed on that "other site" (USAM) for $3500, which is a litt... | |
| Keep Acoustic Zen or move on? My experience with owning a full loom of cables (interconnect - power & speaker cables) is that 1 of those 3 types will be exceptional, while the other 2 are just average to above average. In the case of Acoustic Zen, I've found their speaker ... | |
| Band/artist documentaries. Lots of good picks so far. If I had to only recommend one music related documentary, it would probably be "Muscle Shoals." Here's a few that have not been mentioned yet: BADFINGER - Director's Cut BECOMING LED ZEPPELIN - If you can see (and he... | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? 1) ALL MY FRIENDS - Celebrating the Songs and Voice of Gregg Allman worth it for the Gregg and Jackson Browne duet of "These Days." 2) BLEEKER STREET - Greenwich Village in the 60's 3) LOOKING INTO TO YOU - A Tribute to Jackson Browne 4) LOVE ... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? "I have all the self-loathing of a wolf in sheep's clothing." - Billy Bragg: "Accident Waiting to Happen" "She's got cheekbones like geometry and eyes like sin and she's been sexually enlightened by Cosmopolitan." Lloyd Cole: "Perfect Skin" "I w... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @blackbag20 +1 on "muted trumpet." A musical quirk of mine is that I hate muted trumpet because it is so rarely done well. Usually, it is derivative and/or cheesy. I submit these as two examples of doing it right: MARK EITZEL - "Mission Rock ... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Joanna Newsome, Regina Spektor and anything with boogie-woogie piano. Since most of the debating is about not liking popular and/or revered artists, my pick in that category would be Paul Simon (solo albums only). His solo stuff has always rubbed... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @mapman I saw a Dave Matthews Band bumper sticker (DMB), and I realized that it was just a vowel away from spelling "dumb" | |
| Has it all been worth it? Absolutely! 1) I had a lot of fun. 2) I made some good friends with either good musical taste and/or helpful knowledge regarding the equipment side of things. 3) So, I learned enough to pay that forward, and.... 4) Reach a plateau, equipment w... | |

| DAC recommendation for DSD input @mintakax , since you live in Colorado, The Music Room would be another retail option. They have a buy it - try it program; so, you'd avoid the out-of-pocket shipping costs on anything that you tried and didn't like. FWIW, the PS Audio DAC was... |
